735 Exchange Building Boston 27th July 1908

H. C. Frick, Esq., Prides Crossing, Mass.

Dear Mr. Frick: I have sent to your house the engravings which you wanted as follows: (1) Lady Hamilton, head, by Caroline Watson (2) Colored print of Lady Hamilton as Nature, by Sydney E. Wilson (Modern) (3) Lady Hamilton reading Gazette, by F. Holl (Modern) (4) Lady Hamilton as St. Cecilia, by George Keating (5) Lady Hamilton as Bacchante, by Knight.

As I informed you the most satisfactory place to get engravings framed is H. Wunderlich & Co., Fifth Avenue about 27th Street. They understand the proper kind of frames, widths, and margins, and other details, which are very essential to keeping the proper effect for these old English prints. I have had some engravings framed at Doll & Richards on Newbury Street in Boston. They do very well when you can instruct them exactly what you want but they have not had the experience of the Wunderlichs. As for example, they always want to have wide margins which is inadvisable for this style of print. Yours very truly, SIGNED IN GRAPHITE: Bradley W. Palmer P.S. I enclose a memorandum of the cost of the prints.

[[IN GRAPHITE IN LEFT MARGIN: Chge "Expense" Ck on 50 M ? $352]]
